Philadelphia Phillies Shirt Giveaway

This week’s giveaway is a Philadelphia Phillies T-Shirt. It is the fourth in a series of weekly giveaways leading up to opening day. I’ve been posting everyday (30 consecutive so far) leading up to opening day, and giving stuff away to thank my readers.

A Ryan Howard Nike shirt.
This shirt not only is very colorful, but also is the perfect shirt to wear when sitting near the Phillies dugout. Ryan Howard will probably end up with the third out ball in about half of the innings. Simply stand up in this shirt and raise your glove. He’ll see the shirt and have to hook you up.

I’m also giving away this Philadelphia Phillies shirt:
It features the ‘classic print’ design, which is one of my favorite Majestic shirts designs.
Or, how about a Roy Halladay shirt?
That’s right, it says Doc-tober, and I think you can figure out why.
How about a clever Hunter Pence shirt?
Get it? Pence-ylvania… Pennsylvania.
The winner of this weeks entry gets their choice of any of those four shirts. I can get you pretty much any size you want, as the local sports store has many different sizes in stock.

I post blog entries every day. All you have to do is leave a comment or retweet my blog link on twitter.

So, again, to enter:
1) Leave a comment.
You can enter up to seven times per week simply by leaving a comment. Non-pertinent, spam, or inappropriate comments will not be accepted. If you comment multiple times on the same blog entry, it still counts as one entry. For example, if you commented on three different blog posts from this week, you’d have three entries. If you’d comment three times on the same blog posting, it would could as one.

2) Retweet (RT) my posts on Twitter
You can find me on twitter under 333greystreet. Simply retweet my daily posts of my blog link and I’ll count that as an entry. My blog is connected to my twitter so that I automatically tweet once I post a new entry. Each day, I’ll search who’s retweeted me and enter those users into a hat along with the commenters. By the way, you do not need to retweet my every tweet, only the tweets that announce a new blog post and url. For example, if I tweeted, ‘Rerun of the Pirates Opening Day 2011 on tonight,’ if you retweeted it, it wouldn’t count as an entry.

At the end of the week on Sunday, I’ll have Olivia, Amy or I will choose a name from a hat and announce the winner.

Also, I’ve decided to giveaway more shirts this week based on the performance of my blog. For each day that my blog gets over 1,000 views, I’ll choose another Phillies shirt winner at the end of this week. So, I could possibly be giving away seven Phillies shirts this week.

Why spend $25 in a store or $15 on ebay when you can get them for free here?

Since my blog began in 2008, I’ve had four days that I’ve had over 1,000 views, with my busiest day coming back in April 2011 when I had 11,441 views.
That’s because of THIS VIDEO that I shot.

So far this month, I’ve had a few days where I’ve been between 600-700 views, but haven’t been able to break that elusive 1,000 barrier in a day yet this year.

Maybe all of the Phillies fans out there will change that. Maybe a Phillies player will tweet this giveaway to Phillies fans and make me honor my offer and give away a bunch of shirts. I hope so.

Anyhow, my question is, in an NL East consisting of the Phillies, Braves, Marlins, Nationals, and Mets, where do you think the Phillies will finish?

If you have them finishing first? How far do you think they go in the playoffs? If they’re not winning their division, who is?

I think the Phillies are too good of a team to not win the division. The Marlins and Nationals are much improved and will be major players this year, so I don’t think the Phillies will win 102 games again this year, but they’ll be in the mid 90’s and well on their way to another shot at the World Series.

There’s only 45 days until opening day, and 12 days the first broadcasted game on MLB TV (Yankees vs Phillies).

I am always in on a Phillies shirt. I have them winning the division because of their pitching. Howard will likely miss half of the season and that could hurt them as they have a stacked division. Everyone but the Mets has at least an outside shot in that division.

I think the Phillies will end up winning the division again in 2012. They’ve got the pitching and, assuming their guys are healthy, they’ll win 95-100 games and beat their rivals by at least five games.

I think the Phillies will win the division as well and common sense tells me the Braves finish 2nd but watch out for the Nationals. I think they can make things interesting. Sadly I agree that my beloved Mets will have a trying season.

Erik – You can take my name out of this week’s drawing as I couldn’t be caught dead in a Phillies shirt..plus I’d rather give those the opportunity to win who would wear it. But of course I’ll keep commenting.

I think that we should be able to win the NL East this year and hopefully go pretty far in the playoffs, but there are some good teams out there so we will see. Things are looking good with Howard so that will surely be a plus.

Braves are my pick to win the NL east Philly is good but the team is aging Miami bought every heavily overvalued free agent on the market, and washington still has rotation issues (but strausberg will make them better). And the mets are flat broke.
